i got a couple of lots of antique and vintage chandelier crystals off ebay recently.i had some of my own stashed here and there (and hung in the windows)
but i got about 100 assorted shapes and sizes now.
so i am hanging them on ribbons off the branch over the front window.
(WHAT??? not everyone has a branch over their front window? why NOT?)
i have at least one on a ribbon in each window
but i got a ton in the front (east) window
i just love them there.
i also put some of my embroidered hearts on a garland on the mantel, along with the chickens susan sent me ( love them chickens) we are ready (well sorta) for the BIG heart day!
but i will most likely add eggs and call it spring/easter too
cool huh?
now this week we're getting some warmer temps so i will be cleaning pens (finally thank goodness)
i want them all scrubbed and bleached not just the regular cleaning.
and i am going to be starting some of my veggie seeds, the peppers, and possibly the eggplants-
beans, squash, greens etc i start from seed outside so that won't be going on
although i am seriously thinking of dumping some lettuce seeds under the snow on the outdoor planters
i miss my garden so badly this time of year.
this morning i cut bernie's hair, the cat's toenails......and some ribbon..
i'm on a roll here
outside of that it's been pretty lazy for me
guess that's to make up for the 4am stove and laundry hanging thing
bernie let me sleep in
and i did!
boy did i....i got back to bed at 6am and slept in until 10
i came down to be handed a cup of coffee
and french toast for breakfast!
however now i am going to start dinner
after last night with our anniversary steak dinner.....something very light today
(chicken, salad and apple dressing)
til next time
I bet those crystals are beautiful with the sun shining through them. What a great idea.
ReplyDeletethey ARE......i love to see the rainbows and lights flash all over
ReplyDeletein the 80's i used to get the swarovski crystals they were expensive then too.... but now i am really liking the vintage old lead chandelier crystals...and some of the modern glass ones too
It sounds like a nice day at your house, Vi. How lovely to be handed a cup of coffee when you get up! I am wondering what the apple dressing is that you are planning to serve for supper. Is it a salad dressing, or a stuffing kind of dressing?
ReplyDeletecornbread stuffing with apples added to the onions etc
ReplyDeletei had a few dried apple slices to use up
